Conservative Elephants In Nepal, Branded Racist
2014-10-06
A Nepalese communist community organizer was killed in a wild elephant attack in the Bara district of south-eastern Nepal on Sunday, eKantipur reports.

Ganga Bal, 35, was a local leader in the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), not to be confused with the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) or the Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist-Leninist). She was a member of the CPN-Maoist State Committee of Bhojpura.

Bal was out on a morning walk in the little village of Amalekhgunj when the attack occurred. Her body was discovered behind the local office of the Nepal Oil Corporation.

Bara has been the site of four elephant-attack deaths in the past one-and-a-half months.

#10  "A moment's relief, Comrade Pachyderm!
Your stomping is making me taciturn;
If you'd just let me stand,
Get my nuts out the sand --
I'll incite like a natural subaltern."

#9  Well, I suspect the racist elephants would have no problems sneaking past the Secret Service at this point. They don't seem to be paying attention.

#6  I can find no evidence for the above. I could have sworn adolescent male elephants were called commandos. Nor mind.

#5  Likely drunken young commandos.

#2  That's the advantage to elephant assassins - they'll work for peanuts.
